Background:
Physician Dr. Charles McNider was asked by the police to treat an important witness against
mobster "Killer" Maroni. The witness had been shot in the back. While McNider was treating the
dying man, a thug threw a hand grenade at them. McNider was blinded by the explosion. As a
result he decided to do what he could to fight crime, and began by embarking on a second career
as a magazine writer who would use his stories to expose criminals.

McNider learned that he could now see in the dark but was blinded by light, much like an owl.
He developed special "infrared glasses" that would enable him to see in daylight as well. McNider
then adopted the costumed identity of Doctor Mid-Nite and used it to capture Maroni. To keep
his new identity secret, McNider only wore the infrared goggles as Doctor Mid-Nite and
pretended to be completely blind.

Dr. Mid-Nite was a member of the All-Star Squadron and spent many years as a member of the
Justice Society of America until it disbanded in the 1950s. He returned to active membership in
the Society when it was revived.
